You're misunderstanding again and gravitating to extremes. As mentioned, there are several key facts which need to be explained. Willingness to die is one. As such, willingness to die is important to the case but not the only point. In and of itself it doesn't mean much. None of the theories you've proposed explain the key facts as I pointed out earlier with the theft theory and spiritual resurrection. Being willing to die makes the theft theory implausible but as I mentioned this still leaves the option that the disciples were deceived which can only be addressed when considering the other key facts. Being willing to die is not everything and it's not nothing. It needs to be addressed with the other facts. You're proving my point- if you die for a greater purpose it shows you genuinely believe in the cause you're dying for. If you think someone would get a Roman nail through them for a supposed belief Jesus is Saviour but didn't actually believe it that is a totally implausible proposition. You're trivialising the experience due to a clear bias against Christianity. Like I said if you want to keep writing long messages write a formal post on your blog please. That way we can explain our comparative cases before both of our readers and they can make up their own minds. If you're not interested no worries. Thanks for the conversation, happy thinking and reading. All the best. It's good you're thinking deep my friend.
